how do you guys create large curves on the front edge of your control panel?

Sorry I think I said the same thing as your number 2 except with pictures. It really does work well if the material bends easily.

I actually put the line to cut as part of the control panel overlay.
Used a simple spline curve in the paint program and then mirrored it to make the sides match.

If you happen to have AutoCAD or something of the like, you can draw an arc and print it out full size, jigsaw along the line, and sand until the curve is smooth and gradual.

EDIT: If you don't have AutoCAD or some other CAD software, PM me the dimensions of your control panel and I'll draw it up quickly for you. Also, for my CP I had access to a CNC router, so it made the lovely curve for me :D

Yup, no worries. :cheers:
I was thinking about drawing a picture or finding a link to an article on how to do this, but I was simply too lazy to do it. :laugh2:
